Yoruba[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From ì- + papòdà, ultimately from ì- (“nominalizing prefix”) + ipò (“position”) + padà (“to change, to transform”), literally “to change positions”
- padà is a splitting verb (ọ̀rọ̀-ìṣe ẹlẹ́là), in this case it is split by the "ipò"
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]

- (euphemistic, idiomatic) the act of transmitting to the other side
- (euphemistic) death, demise
- Synonyms: ikú, ìwàjà, ìtẹrígbaṣọ, ìgbésẹ̀
